Dec. 29--Chicago firefighters were at the scene of an extra-alarm fire that broke out late Sunday afternoon on the upper floor of an Old Town neighborhood highrise building, said officials.
At least five ambulances were sent to the building located at 1540 N. LaSalle St., according to Chicago Fire Department Media information.
Fire Media said when firefighters first arrived, there was fire showing from the upper floors on the west side of the 24-story building.
